Question Asker/Answerer asked:


Im 12 and yesterday was my second day snowboarding. My friend came with me who has been boarding for years. What are some tricks you would need to know to get a small sponsor? We can do backflips and we were planning on making a sponsor vid to give to our local shop. (Ya, it was my second day ever and i wanted to try a backflip so i did and i got em down) What are some must do things? SHouldi phone the shop or go in? Thanks
